There are few options to finding a date: Fix-ups. One time I was fixed up by my grandmother. I should have known better, because she thought that her polka dot shirt matched her striped pants because they had the same colors. Warning to guys: girls have an entirely different meaning to their phrases “she’s sooo […]
Chivalry is the code of conduct associated with the medieval institution of knighthood, originally conceived as an aristocratic warrior code. Maybe that’s why women have always liked “bad boys” through the centuries. But hard to get is also hard to keep. Perhaps chivalry was something the shining knight used in pursuit of the maiden; after […]
“I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett . . .” So begins the first love letter to 19th-century poet Elizabeth Barrett by a great admirer, Robert Browning. Barrett, one of the best-known Victorian era poets, had a chronic illness and was in her late 30s when Browning first wrote in 1845 […]
A newborn baby arrives. Parents, family, friends and colleagues marvel at the wonder of it all. Here lies a beautiful creation of God who is innocent to the ways of the world.

Wouldn’t this be an interesting “Truth or Dare” proposition for all politicians, labor leaders, business executives, husbands & wives—even parents? For example, did spokesmen for the tobacco lobby really believe that cigarettes didn’t cause cancer but a few years ago? […]
With credit to Todd Beal, I am paraphrasing his blog post. The eagle has the longest life span among birds. It can live up to 70 years old, but to reach this age it has to transform itself. After forty years old, its long and flexible talons can grab prey. Its beak becomes bent. Its […]
The idea of the American Dream is rooted in the United States Declaration of Independence which proclaims that “all men are created equal” and that they are “endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights” including “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” For many immigrants, the Statue of Liberty was their first view of […]
